The first year of the new millennium was met with much celebration. The previous millennium had gone from living in huts and killing each other, to crossing the Atlantic and killing each other, to flying in airplanes and killing each other, to splitting atoms to kill each other,  to going to the moon… while simultaneously killing each other. We thought we would soon be living in a Jetsonian future world.

But a scary possibility loomed near. Y2K.

People feared that there good friend binary would soon betray them. All sorts of crazy theories permeated the net and the media, from computers ceasing to work, to power plants failing, to a widespread nuclear apocalypse. What prompted these asinine theories? Well, according to some “computer experts”, binary didn’t recognize the code for 00, making computers believe that we were back in the year 1900. Why would this cause an event of apocalyptic proportions? I dunno.

Anyway, I knew from the start that the world wouldn’t end in 2000. If it did, then how would it end again in 2012?

Also, the year 2000 was the year of the US. Election, and it’s a shame that the guy who won didn’t get to be president. Were they trying out some new rules that year, trying to make the election more like golf? Or perhaps it had something to do with the popularity of the reality show Survivor in that you voted for the one that you didn’t want to win.

Anyway, that’s the year 2000. Tomorrow, we explore 2001, in which I’m sure everything works out fine, and nothing tragic happens.
